Introduction
BeoLab Transmitter 1 is a stand-alone box, that enables existing music systems and TVs to connect wirelessly - within one room - to any Bang &
Olufsen wireless speaker and BeoLab Receiver 1.
BeoLab Transmitter 1 works in the wireless 5 GHz U-NII band frequency spectrum. It is compliant with and will only work with all new Bang &
Olufsen WiSA approved speakers and speakers connected to the BeoLab Receiver 1.
The WiSA technology offers multi-channel wireless sound performance for full surround sound setup. The benets for the Bang & Olufsen
customer are:
- Eliminates cable clutter.
- Offers complete exibility when decorating your room.
- Is an easy add-on to an existing wired setup.
- Delivers high-quality wireless surround sound.
- Offers easy 3rd party integration: mix and match your favourite audio and video components.
The BeoLab Transmitter 1 has four RJ45 inputs with Power Link / Line-in connection which have both a left and right sound channel. This means
you can connect as much as 8 sound channels as input of which one can be a subwoofer in the room. In addition there is an optical stereo
TOSLINK TM input (S/P-DIF) and two RCA (Line-in) for connection stereo sound channels of an audio system.
Despite this the wireless technology used makes it possible to congure up to 11 wireless speakers to the sound channels as desired. One scenario
may be a 7.4 setup.
One switch is used to shift between a Bang & Olufsen Power Link signal in and a line-in signal from a 3rd party product (B&O INPUT YES/NO).
Another switch is used for providing either a pure stereo output in two sound channels only (SUB 2.1 set to OFF) or providing the two stereo sound
channels plus a third sound channel provided by the built in bass management function for the conguration of a wireless subwoofer (SUB 2.1 set
to ON).
Active sources are prioritised in the following order: 1) POWER LINK; 2) TOSLINK; 3) Line-in (via RCA connectors or RJ45 connector).
With the BeoLab Transmitter 1 comes a cable cover for optimised cable management. The BeoLab Transmitter 1 is clicked onto the cable cover and
can be mounted on the wall with the cables directed either up/down or sideways in any direction that is convenient for an elegant installation. The
cable cover becomes an inherent part of the BeoLab Transmitter 1 and lets the solution stand out as one entity.
In a stereo setup, the speakers and the subwoofer must be connected wirelessly.
In a surround sound setup, you can combine wired and wireless speakers as you like.
When the BeoLab 19 has wireless connection the LP FILTER switch is set to OFF. This ensures that the BeoLab 19 emits the frequency pattern sent
to the speaker and also makes the noise pattern audible when conguring the speaker setup.

The WIRELESS LED is placed in the rear side above the push buttons of the BeoLab Transmitter 1; see LED indications page 18.
The Power Link connectors are used to connect to the source signals.
Above each Power Link input connector two LEDs are placed to give indications regarding the sound channels established to the wireless speakers.
The white LED gives indications regarding the left (L) channel and the red LED gives indications regarding the right (R) channel; see LED indications
page 18.
The Wireless Power Link antennas are placed in the lid (top) of the BeoLab Transmitter 1, and due to the PCBs placed below this, the signal
strength is somewhat attenuated on the backside of the BeoLab Transmitter 1.
It is recommended to place the BeoLab Transmitter 1, so it is not hidden, and it must never be placed behind the TV as the metal parts will prevent
the wireless signals to reach the speakers.
The push buttons can be activated as follows; see also description of push button functions page 17:
- short press ≤1.5 s
- long press ≥ 1.5 s and ≤10 s (often conrmed when the LED turns solid)
- very long press ≥ 10 s

Mounting
The BeoLab Transmitter 1 can be mounted in various ways:
- On a shelf or similar horizontal surface.
- Wall mounted.
Note: Product Status LED on front of BeoLab Transmitter 1, and WIRELESS LED on the rear side.
Wall mounting
The BeoLab Transmitter 1 can be mounted on a wall by using the cable cover as wall bracket.
Two screws are placed with a distance of 260 mm/ 10.6”.
See also the setting-up guide enclosed in the packaging for the BeoLab Transmitter 1.
The BeoLab Transmitter 1 can be placed vertically or horizontally. The cable cover is naturally used for organizing the cables.
See example in the below illustrations. (The holes for mounting shown are placed on the back side of the BeoLab Transmitter 1).
Demount from wall mounting
The BeoLab Transmitter 1 is demounted from the cable cover by releasing the two snap-locks , followed by moving the transmitter away from
the cable cover .
Placement of the Beolab Transmitter 1 6
Placement of BeoLab Transmitter 1
The BeoLab Transmitter 1 has an
omnidirectional transmission
characteristic, although this can not
be an ideal sphere.
The transmitter and the receivers of
the loudspeakers must have line-of-
sight.
The transmitter and the speakers are
placed inside an area that is
recommended to have the maximum
measurements of 9 × 9m / 30 ×
30ft.
The distance between the BeoLab
Transmitter 1 and any receiver must
not exceed 12 m / 40 ft.
Ideally there must be placed no
objects between the BeoLab
Transmitter 1 and the speakers -
especially not objects consisting of
material that will block or totally
reect the wireless signals.
Setting listening distance to speakers
In most TVs the listening distance to
each speaker can be set to obtain
true-time listening from all speakers.
If the speaker setup consists of a
mixture of wired and wireless
connected speakers, the distance to
the wireless speakers must be added
6 ms (milliseconds) matching 2 m /
6.7 ft to the actual distance between
the listening position and each
speaker connected wirelessly due to the sound delay handling.
Alternatively the time or distance can be subtracted from the wired speaker setup.
